  • You get a blown save if you blow the lead!
  • It doesn't matter who put the runner on base!
  • If the tying run scores on you, you get a blown save!
  • If two relievers blow a lead in different innings...
  • Each guy is given a blown save!
  • If you blow the lead twice, you only get one blown save!

    • Although the Blown Save is not an official MLB statistic, fans keep track of them.
    In recent years:

  • Sox fans wondered when team management would notice Billy Koch's blown saves total  
  • Cub fans wondered if team management would notice LaTroy Hawkins' blown saves total
  • And eventually team management did notice, and did something about it!
